Crowd of hundreds dispersed around U. S.
Interests Section in Havana
HAVANA, August 11 (Gilberto Manuel González
/ www.cubanet.org) - A crowd of hundreds
was dispersed by officers of the Ministry
of the Interior from the environs of the
U. S. Interests Section in Havana.
According to eyewitnesses, the crowd had
congregated upon hearing a rumor that the
U. S. diplomatic office was going to issue
visas in commemoration of Fidel Castro's
birthday August 13.
An eyewitness, Pedro Chan, said one officer
with a major's epaulets addressed the crowd
in an attempt to get them to leave the area,
and told them that even if the U. S. were
to issue the visas, the Cuban government
would not authorize their leaving the island.
